Uber-Choke-Nightmare-Job in LA?

I am so in love with the fact that Uber is still around.  Everyone who had sites there and was really a part of that community, put so much work into everything.  I hope it's here to stay.

I went and saw Choke last night.. and oddly I thought it would be dirtier..?  Funny movie though.. and yes I saw it by myself, like a loser, on a Wednesday night.  I think I was one of five people in the entire theatre.  Then, as usual went for a drive through downtown and found myself at the skatepark, which is always busy.. to chat on the phone.. was chilly already.  I hate that winter is coming.. and I hear it was 100 degrees in LA yesterday?!  Seriously!

I started my job as a framer and had my real first day this week.  I say real because my first day involved watching safety videos and filling out paperwork.. so not really a first day.  I enjoy the job very much.. I'm a very hands-on kind of gal and I think I'll be good at it and they definitely need the help; they're backed up a few weeks on orders and I'm glad to be there to help out with that.  It's interesting to see what people have framed as well.  I enjoy looking at artwork; this sort of envelops a lot of my interests into one job.. just wish I got paid a bit more.  I really need to cut out the trips to the movies and my occasional fulfillment of the Starbucks addiction and then perhaps I might get to really saving some money for my move.

I don't have any photos to post today, oddly.  It's been busy with the kids and starting a new job and I've really just been a lethargic mess.. that and a lack of sleep last night because my littlest girl woke up from a nightmare, I think, and wouldn't go back to sleep in her crib.  Hopefully we'll have more luck tonight.  I really need to get some photo orders out and edit the rest of my sis-in-law's senior photos, get a lawyer, pay bills, fill out some jury duty paperwork.. I have a lot on my plate and I'm still in my pajamas this afternoon.  Oh, and I'm still looking for a job in LA as an assistant photog.  I didn't think it would be so hard, but soon realizing how those types of positions easily get filled by someone they likely know already; hence why there are very few postings for jobs of that kind.  Perhaps I'll have to stick to framing until I can find a photog job.  I already miss it dearly.. I like having "work" to do.

Well, cheers.. and yes I will continue to blog here as well as Uber, but I think the blogs here will be more casual and less photo-filled.. perhaps a bit more personal and a tool for venting.  -Cassie
